661 Seeing the light with your teeth
"Bone and tooth artificial keratoplasty is a tooth for an eye, not a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. Lao Lin, do you have a little back in your ears?" Wu Mian said with a smile.
"......" Daoist Lin didn't understand, what Uncle Xiao said was a bit complicated.
"Chief Lin, this operation is very complicated. Chu Zhixi saw that Daoist Lin was a little embarrassed, so he said with a smile, "Simply put, the root of the patient's canine tooth, some of the surrounding bones and ligaments are transferred to the eye. ”
“......”
I'm going to make a big slot, Daoist Lin secretly shouted in his heart.
What kind of surgery is this? Teeth and surrounding bones and ligaments are transferred to the eye?!
Isn't that the equivalent of a tooth growing in the eye socket?
At the thought of the teeth in his eyes, Daoist Lin shuddered.
This is reality, not a game, not a myth or legend.
Uncle Xiao really dares to play anything, in the opinion of Lin Daoshi, transplanting a cornea is already very good, which Cheng wants people to start transplanting teeth to "see" the light.
It's just that no matter how your teeth are, they are used to chew things, can you see things? That's impossible! Daoist Lin didn't think that Chu Zhixi was lying to him at all, but felt that there was something wrong with his understanding.
"Little Master, I'm listening...... I don't understand. Daoist Lin asked.
He didn't dare to ask Wu Mian, but asked Chu Zhixi.
The temper of the little master is much better than that of the little uncle, and today he was driven away by the little uncle, Lin Daoshi was afraid that he would provoke the little uncle again.
Wei Dabao stood behind, listening to the dew, he could understand all the words, but together he couldn't understand a word.
"The tooth is used because the root of the tooth and the bone around it hold a tiny, clear plastic cylinder, called an artificial cornea, to the eyeball. Canines are chosen because they are large and easy to break if they are too small. ”
"I don't understand. Daoist Lin said with certainty.
"Girl, don't explain. Wu Mian said, "There are very few operations carried out in China, and Lao Lin and Dr. Wei have never heard of it." ”
"What a little uncle at home, what a little uncle abroad?" Daoist Lin captured a point.
"In the 60s of the last century, Professor Strampelli of Italy began to study artificial corneal transplantation of bone teeth, but in the first 30 years, most attempts ended in failure. ”
Sixties of the last century...... It was almost a matter of Jiazi ago, and Daoist Lin sighed inexplicably in his heart. A year ago, when the country was still in the bitter march of industrialization, people began to ponder such a high-end technique.
"What kind of expression do you have, Lao Lin. Wu Mian asked.
"In recent years, I really thought we had entered the developed world. The days are getting better and better, the roads are beautiful, and there are all kinds of bridges, which are called majestic. This is all seen with your own eyes, not advertised. Daoist Lin sighed and said, "But this kind of high-end technique was started in Italy 5 or 60 years ago. This gap is simply too big. ”
"Lao Lin, your kind of thinking is the most important. Wu Mian smiled, "Either you can quote injustice, you know what it means." ”
"Of course, I was a college student. Daoist Lin said with a little pride, "I understand what you mean, Uncle Junior." ”
"I've only been rich for a few years, and I think that everything is the most advanced in the world, and what do you think. Even the US imperialists dare not say this, so why should we say it. In addition, it is not easy to change from an agricultural country to an industrial country. Wu Mian looked at Daoist Lin and said.
"Hmm. Lin Daoshi nodded vigorously, "Don't waste if you are not going to develop." ”
"Developing countries, always. Wu Mian said, "Lao Lin, you're right, just hold on to the waves, and watch the Angsa bandits help themselves play to death from afar." ”
"Hey, hey. "Daoist Lin doesn't know what Uncle Xiao has done in the United States, and he has unknowingly become an Angsa gang.
"Hold on!" said Daoist Lin with a clenched fist.
"Pretty much. "Gou is a very interesting word, but then again, Professor Strampelli's student Professor Falcinelli later continued to study bone and tooth artificial corneal transplantation, and after decades of cooking, the success rate of this type of surgery has now increased to about 90%. ”
"Until the beginning of the 21st century, when the operation took shape, Professor Falcinelli operated on 16 patients, all of which were successful. Later, a team of doctors from the Lijiapo National Eye Center and the National Dental Center also successfully restored normal vision to a blind 19-year-old Thai youth, Pinuou, through the bone and tooth artificial cornea surgery.
After six months of two-stage surgery, the patient has regained his sight. After the surgery, he was able to live a normal life and even drive a car. ”
"It takes half a year for the operation?!Uncle Xiaoshi, you're not kidding, what's the difference between this ten minutes shooting. Lin Daoist was surprised.
"It's normal, there are many surgeries in gastrointestinal surgery that leave the intestines open, and then perform a second operation 3-6 months later. Do you think it's a patient lying on the operating table, lying down for half a year? Lao Lin, you have read this book to the dog's stomach?" Wu Mian said.
"Hey, hey. Daoist Lin was also a little embarrassed, he lost his mind for a while and said the wrong thing, no wonder Uncle Xiao despised himself.
"Dental artificial corneal transplantation is a two-stage procedure in which one of the patient's canines and the surrounding bone and ligaments are removed, then the tooth is bolted, a hole is drilled in the middle, an artificial cornea is inserted, and the artificial cornea is implanted into the patient's cheek to cultivate new blood vessels. ”
"Then culture for 3-6 months, remove the complex that grows soft tissue, and suture it to the surface of the patient's eye. The blood vessel cylinder is then transplanted into the eye and directs light into the retina, allowing the patient to regain vision. ”
"The surgery was very difficult and I was ready to do it myself. Wu Mian said very seriously.
Daoist Lin looked at Wu Mian and felt funny.
As a doctor, Uncle Xiao rarely goes to the operating table, is this still a surgeon?
"Lao Lin, why don't you look at me in the right eyes today. Wu Mian asked.
"Uncle Junior, let's put it this way. Lin Daoshi did not deny it, and said, "For the past week, I have been looking down from the mountain every day. I can't count the number of security guards hidden in the mountain, just to ensure the safety of those two foreigners, do you think I can't be surprised? ”
"It's normal, if something goes wrong with Owen in the country, it's going to be a big problem. Wu Mian said.
"When I came to Xiangjiang, I gave birth to a female ghost and ate my twin brothers, and my brain was messed up. ”
"It's all nonsense, it's just a Chimera chimera, and you don't even need to do surgery, you don't need to take medicine, it's all heart disease. Wu Mian smiled, "I thought you were bolder than Dr. Wei, but I didn't expect you to be just as small." ”
